EDIT: Carlson has a 60 capsule bottle of K2 with 5000mcp a capsule for about 48 cents a piece at Vitamin Life.

Turns out its made from Menatetrenone

This site menaq7.com says that Menatetrenone is a very inferior way to take it. Very detailed and lots of references. Excerpt:

Synthetic vitamin K2 as menatetrenone (MK-4)

* Quickly appears but also disappears from the blood. Half life 1 hour! (see graph)
* As a result, high pharmacological doses (mg) are necessary; and multiple daily doses are needed
* Importantly, large doses interact negatively with persons on blood-thinning medications (warfarin) – very dangerous and medical supervision is necessary

Natural Vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) from Natto

* Highly bioavailable, highly bioactive and longest serum half life (Schurgers, et al. Blood 2007). Half life 3 days!
* Long half life will result in building up a buffer of MK-7, and supplies MK-7 to ALL tissues 24 hours a day.
* More effective at doses that do not exceed the present recommendations for daily vitamin K intake
* At 45mcg/daily, provides levels shown to be the highest consumption in the Rotterdam study
* Not likely to interact negatively with blood-thinning medications (warfarin) at 45 mcg/day!
